    It looks like the Bobcats C-O-U-L-D be playing games on FOX SPORTS SOUTH vs. starting his own regional sports network. Perhaps Bob Johnson saw the problems Shinnridge had with COX CABLE in starting their new regional sports network COX SPORTS TV (some cable systems in New Orleans/Gulf Coast area still haven't reached an agreement to carry the network; Quite a few folks weren't able to watch the Hornets games this year) :confused: ? ? John Delong reported that Bob was close to a deal with Time Warner cable to set up a new regional sports network . . I hope a new RSN is started soon to supplement FOX SPORTS SOUTH, which more times than not only concentrates on what's going on in the Atlanta area & SEC Schools :rolleyes: :rolleyes: . .

    guess this is just more fuel to prove that I need to subscribe to the W-S Journal to get my Charlotte sports news.

    Pretty sad commentary on the Observer when this kind of detail gets published over 70 miles away.
